Crashed hard off a curb tonight. New wheel, or can it just be bent back into shape?

Cant tell if spoke or rim. If spoke its like $2 in material and 30-60 minutes of shop time. If rim is slightly (~1 inch?) wobbly see previous. If rim is really wobbly, new rim/wheel.

Thanks. I think it's just a spoke, but hard to tell last night. Will take it in regardless, just trying to gauge $$

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard to get that repaired. Really, I've ridden on bent spokes before and as long as the rim is true and the spoke doesn't hit anything, it can be rather safely ignored.
